Now that I have finished my manuscript, what do I do with my free time for the next two weeks before the holidays?
UNDEAD SHINIGAMI's 1st draft is complete at 99K words 🔥🔥 This second serving of hack-and-slash samurai vs zombies should be available next year in time for Halloween.
One of the greatest joys of being a writer is seeing which characters readers connect with the most… and when every character ends up with their own champion, it’s pure magic.
I'm reading The Prow Beast by Robert Low, replaying a bit of AC Valhalla, and listening to Danheim while working. Guess what setting I'm itching for for my next manuscript?

Whoever just ordered 30 paperback copies of BLOOD OF THE KAMI (a bookstore, I assume), thank you very, very much. You made my month 🥹
Quick update on the UNDEAD SHINIGAMI challenge started last Thursday, the 1st draft now sits at 11k words! Solid start, thanks, in huge part to my wife, who took care of the kids on this Culture Day (national holiday in Japan.)
Not bad, Shields! Not bad at all. Thanks, dear readers! Hope you're enjoying it 😁

I truly love it when people call me Wu in their reviews. That's literally the only part of my pen name that's not mine to begin with 😂
Test your knowledge of Japanese mythology here! So far, no one has guessed the Kami of the week, and thus, the free ebook copy of BLOOD OF THE KAMI remains up for grabs.
UNDEAD SAMURAI is on sale for 0.99 for a few days! Grab it while it's hot (unlike the creatures within). Your ebook here: mybook.to/UndeadSamurai

I'll be sharing the Trailer + Release Date + COVER REVEAL of my next book, SHIELDS OF THE EMPIRE, on my (brand new) Discord server within the next few hours 🔥🔥🔥 Feel free to ask for an invite 😁
A bookstore owner told me this month that self-published writers aren’t “real authors.” Counterpoint: We are. And we rock. If you’re dreaming of publishing your first book, don’t let snobbish, bitter people tell you otherwise. You’re awesome, and with a bit of work, your novel will be too.
